| 0:00.0 | Hello, good morning and welcome back or welcome to Morning Ray. I'm your host, Lan, or Alana. It is our monthly Ask Lan advice column. I'm so excited to record this. My apologies for being a little late, but at least we got an episode up this week. I think that's the |
| 0:22.6 | silver lining as listening to Hayden's AskP episode. And it reminded me we are due for our AskLand |
| 0:30.5 | episode. So I'm so excited for you guys to listen in, to hear this. And I'm really excited. We have lots of questions. A lot |
| 0:41.1 | are around friendships and relationships, but then also relationships with yourself, |
| 0:46.6 | spending time alone, gaining confidence, and all of that. But before we get into the |
| 0:51.5 | bulk of it, let's do a little life update, a little current faves, and then we'll get into our Ask Lan questions. |
| 0:59.3 | As always, I always want to give the disclaimer, which I'm sure you guys all know, you're all bright individuals. |
| 1:05.8 | And I'm just a 26 year old girl, you know, I'm giving you advice based off of the information you have provided |
| 1:12.3 | me based off of my perspective, my experience in life, what I have learned, what I would do if I were |
| 1:18.5 | in your shoes, if you were my friend and you came to me and asked me, this is kind of the advice |
| 1:23.3 | that I would give you. Obviously, take with it what you will. You know yourself the situation best. |
| 1:28.8 | So you call the shot. I'm just here to be a listening ear and to share some words of wisdom and |
| 1:35.2 | answer your questions. I love doing these. And Peyton also always says this, but I love doing it |
| 1:40.1 | because it makes me feel a little bit more connected to you. It feels a little less like I'm just |
| 1:44.5 | speaking into the bisque of the internet into a black hole, if you will. And it makes me feel a little more |
| 1:49.1 | connected. So I hope it makes you feel a little more connected to me. And if these are your questions |
| 1:54.6 | that I've answered, thank you so much for submitting. And I hope that they help. As always, |
| 1:59.6 | you can always submit your questions in any time |
| 2:02.3 | to the Google forum that's always in the show notes or in the description if you're watching on |
| 2:08.7 | YouTube below. I always update it for the season. So there should be a new one in there for fall and |
| 2:14.6 | winter, 2025 going into 2026, which is wild, but you can always put |
| 2:19.6 | your questions in there. And if you need more real time questions and answers, I always do |
